Team Analysis
West Indies
West Indies batting has improved by leaps and bounds in the ongoing T20I series, both at the top of the order and in the latter stages of the innings. The likes of Brandon King, Nicholas Pooran, and captain Rovman Powell are making a big impact with the bat for the Men in Maroon. In the bowling side of things, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, and Romario Shepherd have been the pick of the lot, taking wickets at regular intervals to push Team India back.

India
Tilak Varma, the newest debutant for Team India, has been the best batter in the ongoing T20I series, putting together consistent scores for the visitors. Suryakumar Yadav found his mojo in the third T20I with a swashbuckling 83, to help the Men in Blue gain their first win in the series. Talking about the bowling, Kuldeep Yadav is definitely looking somewhere close to his best, picking up key wickets at the right time for India while curtailing the runs.
